I Have To Thank My Mother For

Even Though I'm In Love, Sometimes I Get So Afraid.

I Had A Melody And A Rhythm And Chords, But Nothing To Talk About. I Remember Reading About How The Decline Of The Steel Industry Had Been Affecting The Lehigh Valley, And I Decided That's What I Was Going To Write The Song About.

I'm Writing New Music All The Time. I'm Just Not Writing Pop Stuff. It's Not My Goal.

Some Of The Stuff I'm Writing Is Almost Like Hymns, Some Of My First Singing And Choral Experiences Were In Church, The Church Of Christ In Hicksville.

I Believe I've Passed The Age Of Consciousness And Righteous Rage. I've Found That Just Surviving Is A Noble Fight. I Once Believed In Causes Too; I Had My Pointless Points Of View. And Life Went On No Matter Who As Wrong Or Right.
